....consumer satellite industry professionals until Wednesday, February 1. The SBCA Foundation was established in order to support the efforts of individuals and companies in the consumer-based satellite video and broadband industry who are making a contribution to improve the lives of the people in their communities. Requests will be accepted from any individual or company within the industry and the selected grants will be awarded to the non-profit organization in that company or individuals name. Applications will be accepted until February 1st, 2012.

In some cases, the SBCA Foundation will award to an individual in the industry who has devoted time and effort to some worthy community effort (homeless shelter, working with returning veterans, literacy, etc.) In other cases, it might be an entire company that has committed to a project or mission (helping to build a house for Habitat for Humanity, rebuilding a community center destroyed by a hurricane, etc.) All individuals and companies are encouraged to submit a grant request.
